Puerto Viejo to Los Suenos Marriott

This journey ended up being one of those quiet travel memories I did not expect to keep. We were leaving Puerto Viejo for Los Sueños Marriott for the final part of our honeymoon, and I had mixed feelings all morning because I loved the Caribbean side. My husband was handling the heavier bags while I stood there with wet hair and an iced coffee, still half asleep and hoping I would not feel sick once we got into the mountain roads. What stayed with me most was how much the scenery changed during the day. The lush Caribbean atmosphere slowly gave way to greener inland stretches, then drier views as we got closer to the Pacific coast. It really felt like crossing different versions of the country in one ride. Our shuttle service Costa Rica booking felt natural, comfortable, and never overly polished, which I actually appreciated.

I looked at a few ways to do this route, but in the end we chose a direct ride because going from Puerto Viejo to Los Sueños Marriott is a serious travel day. My wife had a large suitcase, I had camera gear, and we really did not want to deal with changing transport halfway through. The collection happened early, which actually helped because the heat was already building on the Caribbean side. There were some curvier inland sections, but the pace felt steady and we appreciated a stop to grab coffee and stretch. As transportation in Costa Rica goes, this felt organized and much more comfortable than trying to piece it together ourselves.

We booked this after a few humid days in Puerto Viejo and I was honestly pretty tired before we even left. The pickup was on time, the vehicle was cool, and my partner was happy there was enough room for our two big suitcases. It is a long ride across the country, but everything felt calm and easy. For a private transfer Costa Rica option, this was exactly what we needed.
